Chapter 129 On the eve of departure
The business situation of Tongxin Pavilion after its opening was as expected by Xu Feng. It was cut in half the next day, and the turnover in one day was only one hundred and fifty spirit stones.
After deducting the cost, the net profit is only fifty yuan.
In the next few days, it basically remained around this level, with little fluctuation.
This hit Luo Xinran and Liang Waner, who were originally overwhelmed by the grand opening on the first day.
There is not much difference between Xu Feng and Xu Tinglan. The former has already anticipated this situation, while the latter has worked as a waiter and knows the specific situation inside.
In the blink of an eye, the day he and the old shopkeeper had agreed to go to Qianyangfang City had arrived.
Xu Feng was busy preparing to open a store before, so Xu Feng didn't tell the three girls about this, but now he can't.
After the store closed, he called Liang Wan'er and the three daughters together and told them about the incident.
"No, you can't go. There's so much chaos outside Fangshi now. People are all going in, how can anyone run out?"
Luo Xinran first expressed her objection, and at the same time she quietly touched the other two women with her feet to signal them to express their stance.
"Yes, Xiaofeng, you should think about it again! Do you know what is the best-selling item in our store these two days?
It’s the life-saving talismans and seals you drew, such as the Rejuvenation Talisman and the Golden Light Talisman. The demon sect is getting more and more violent now. They often ambush and attack the righteous monks, and they will lose their lives if they are not careful. "
Xu Tinglan also disagrees with him going out on adventures. She has a happy-go-lucky temperament.
In her opinion, she was content to guard Xu Feng and this shop that could earn more than a thousand spiritual stones every month.
"That's right, Brother Xu, don't leave the market. This is what my father specifically asked before going into seclusion.
If you must go, then take my father with you and let him protect you.
Otherwise, I won't allow you to go. Qianyangfang City is thousands of miles away from here, and we really can't worry about it. "
Liang Wan'er also didn't want him to take risks, and even moved Mr. Liang out.
"Wan'er, don't be ridiculous. Last time, because of the opening of the business, I interrupted the master's alchemy retreat, which made him very angry.
If I disturb his old man again this time, he will probably sever the master-disciple relationship with me. "
"Then you're not going?" The three girls were overjoyed, thinking that he had changed his mind.
"You still have to go." Looking at the disappointed expressions of the three of them, Xu Feng smiled helplessly.
Just now he just mentioned that he wanted to go to Qianyangfang City with the old shopkeeper. Before he could say how to go specifically, he encountered strong opposition from the three people.
"Listen to me carefully. Things are not what you think. We are not the only ones on the road this time. There are also foundation-building experts from the Sky Sword Sect."
Then he relayed the old shopkeeper's arrangements to the three daughters of Xu Tinglan in detail.
When they heard that they could take a flying boat and that they would be accompanied by a large number of disciples of the Sky Sword Sect and the Elders of Foundation Establishment, their anxious hearts were relieved.
"Is it necessary to go for this assessment?"
Luo Xinran asked unwillingly. She felt that her life was already very good now and there was no need to run around anymore.
"This is related to the opportunity to build the foundation. I must go."
Xu Feng explained the reasons why he had to go.
"Opportunity to build foundation?"
The three women looked at each other in disbelief and said in unison.
"Yes, opportunity to build foundation."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.
If you want to say what Qi Refining cultivators desire most, it must be successful foundation building.
But 99% of the Qi Refining monks will only stop at the ninth level of Qi Refining until their death, and cannot go any further.
The main reason is the lack of foundation building opportunities, or the lack of foundation building pills.
Now that they heard that Xu Feng actually had hope of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, the three women changed their attitudes after being silent and strongly supported him to take the assessment.
"The opportunity to build foundation is related to the road. Since the opportunity is before us, we must not miss it."
"Sister Luo is right. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Brother Xu, you must work hard to get first place in the assessment and seize the opportunity to build the foundation."
Seeing that the three people were finally convinced by him, Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the three aunts would not agree.
"Okay, I will set off with the old shopkeeper at noon tomorrow. Remember to take good care of Tongxin Pavilion's business.
If you encounter any difficulty, go to Shifenyue to solve it. She can't let her get the benefit of one hundred spirit stones a year in vain. "
"We understand, just feel free to go!"
Luo Xinran nodded and said that after these few days of training, she was already able to handle various incidents in the store with ease.
"Brother Xu, how long will you be leaving this time?"
"The old shopkeeper didn't say anything, but I guess it's only about half a month!
From here to Qianyangfang City, it takes two days on the road, and four days for the round trip.
Once there, you may have to wait for other contestants for a few days. The assessment will not officially begin until everyone has arrived.
The assessment probably won’t take long, maybe two or three days at most! "
Xu Feng touched his chin and estimated that although it may not be correct, he felt that he couldn't be wrong much.
Then the three of them chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.
...
At this moment, in front of a lake two thousand miles away from Tianyunfang City, four monks wearing black robes were standing.
It can be judged from the powerful aura emanating from their bodies that the four of them are foundation-building monks.
The one with the highest cultivation level, who had already reached the eighth level of foundation building, was facing away from the other three, staring at the lake, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Have you investigated clearly? Will the flying boat of the Tianjian Sect definitely pass by here tomorrow?"
Hearing the question, the cultivator standing on the far right of the three people behind him first clasped his fists and saluted, then bowed slightly and replied:
"It can't be wrong, Elder Wang, don't worry!
The one who passed the news to us was an inner disciple of the Holy Church who was planted in the Tianjian Sect. His information is absolutely reliable.
It was because of his information that we escaped several encirclement and suppression operations against us by the Tianjian Sect before."
The person who spoke was full of confidence.
"Then did he find out how many foundation-building people were on this flying boat?"
"One, only one."
"Can he be sure?"
"It is certain that their flying boat once accidentally broke into the nest of a second-level upper-grade blue-headed eagle. The situation was very critical at the time, but only one elder of the sixth level of foundation-building came out to fight.
If there were other foundation-building people on the flying boat, they would definitely not sit idly by and watch this situation.
Because there are more than 200 elite Qi-refining disciples of the Tianjian Sect on the entire flying boat. If the whole army is wiped out, even if the Tianjian Sect is big and powerful, it can't bear such a loss."
This explanation is still convincing enough. Elder Wang said softly:
"I know, you go and rest first. Tomorrow, when the Tianjian Sect's flying boat passes by here, we will act together and make sure to keep them all here."
"Yes, elder."
